After seeing the present situations of Panth there are voices from various sections of Sikh
Society that Panth could only be brought out of troubles if some learned/qualified & selfless
should come forward and volunteer themselves for service of Sikhism.

However, the biggest question is that the UN-learned/UN-qualified & Selfish lot which is now
completely controlling the whole power in political senses these Panthic institutions provides
and Golak (Money through Alms or Daswand of common Sikhs) of Gurudwaras (which in many
manners money of Guru and so reserved for the service of weaker sections of Panth), would
they vacate all this for Educated lot to take charge, so easily? Educated Sikhs are otherwise
more concerned about the safety of themselves, their family and their livelihood.

These elements harming Sikhism have ample money & mussel power as well as the stooges
which they could use for any of their cause, when it comes to losing all their power and source
of income. They would definitely repent with best of their capabilities to harm people with
reformist spirit as much as they could and to any level. On the other hand, Educated Sikhs are
alone, while earning for themselves and their family by their hard work while following Baba
Guru in their heart but whenever the question arises to take lead, the innocent faces of their
kids come before them.

Prof Gurmukh Singh, Gyani Dit Singh are real & biggest reformers of last centenary, both
learned & selfless to the core, but everyone know how they were dealt with. They were even
excommunicated and by some fake and unrightful order (Akauti Hukamnama) of priests their
right to call themselves Sikh had been denied to them though they were bigger Sikhs than
anyone else by that time 'Handling' the religious affairs.

Educated Sikhs have families to take care, have to do their duties towards their parents (who
have otherwise spent their whole lives to make them reach their current levels), wife (one who
is selflessly serves their family life long) & kids (Future of Panth) as a true Sikh. Until or unless
the social security of missionaries and their families wouldn't be taken care by so called well to
do 'Panthic' people, educated lot would keep the distance from such matters.

We have seen the response of our 'Panthic' institutions many times towards the kins of ones
who have sacrificed themselves for the service of Panth. Who in the end turned to the door of
families of Prof Gurmukh Singh, Gyani Dit Singh, Bhai Karam Singh Historian, Bhai Kahan Singh
Nabha, Professor Sahib Singh and other in the time of their needs. We are shouting them as

heroes of Panth but when their kins, whose needs they have sacrificed for Panth, needed the
support of Panth, we were hardly there.

Thinking about the welfare & social security of their families, making arrangements for proper
education for their kids (so that they would follow the rightful path and Sikh way of living) and
ensuring their kins a dignified life is not selfishness but their duty as per the GRAHSTH (Family-
Life), the main principle of Sikhism. Gurbani has also approved it as GRAHASTH MAIN NIRBAAN
or living truthful Family life is the key of salvation.

Once the educated people would be helped to feel relived from their concerns towards their
kins we would see more people coming forward for the service of Panth.
